Runpod Serverless Flex pricing: why VRAM alone is the wrong comparison
Runpod's Flex tiers range from $0.58/hour 16GB classes to high-end B300 capacity. The useful decision is model fit, hardware class, and measured cost per job—not VRAM alone.
Nebius NVIDIA B200 on-demand costs USD 8.50 per GPU-hour for one GPU with 180 GB VRAM; the listed configuration includes 20 vCPUs and 224 GB RAM. The platform is documented in us-central1; me-west1, with storage charged separately.
